Chapter 15 Isolation Light Curtain
The last ray of light in the sky was obscured by the clouds, and the solar streetlights shone with a warm glow.
Many more people found Baiyue's base, and the constant ringing of notification sounds annoyed Jiang Baiyue, so she simply muted it.
One by one, people discovered several buildings on the base and began to explore them in small groups.
"Wow, Yangyang, there's a new building at the base! It's only been three days. Weren't they saying that building at the base is slow?"
Because of their greed, the five of them went a little too far. When they were fighting a corpse sac, a newly spawned tumor zombie was quite strong, which delayed them a bit. On the way back, they had to start running like crazy.
I rushed into the base without eating any vegetables, and was so tired that I couldn't straighten my back. I put the resource box on the ground and ate 3 berries to replenish my strength.
He inadvertently turned his head and noticed a large group of people walking out of a new building: "Mission Hall?"
Springtime was also puzzled, but if this game becomes a reality, there might be some differences.
Beauty is not a mistake. She took out a bag of cheese bread, freeing up a compartment in her backpack. She put the scrap metal she was holding into her backpack and said, "Let's go take a look."
Along the way, they encountered other people coming in and out of the mission hall, and they heard that the people they were talking to sound very excited.
"This base actually accepts materials, that's great, hahaha. I almost threw away the skeleton to make room for other supplies, luckily I was too slow to decide yet, otherwise I would have lost out."
"Me too. The supplies I scavenged over the past two days are too varied, and I can't bear to throw them away, they might still be useful, but my backpack isn't big enough..."
"Do you have any food scraps? I've found so many these past few days. They're inedible and take up space."
"Don't fight over them! I have dozens of packs of nails already. Just let me sell a few. I have too many of these. Let me save up some for the room fee..."
“I have a blueprint, which is sure to be very useful, but I don’t know how to use it… How about we change the medication? If the pressure is too high, we can lower it.”
“I think so too. I checked the pressure level of the mortuary sac today and it increased by 5 points. Antidepressants are still very important, after all, high pressure levels can easily lead to problems.”
"Why would you trade the blueprints? Take them to the rented workbench guarded by those kids. They can make a few for you if you hand over the materials. Even if you use coins, it'll only cost two coins, which isn't expensive."
"I heard that you can make some basic tools even without blueprints. The person next to me said that you can make a tool by submitting one set of materials."
The person next to them seemed to know a lot and kindly reminded them, "You can do that? But it's a bit of a loss, isn't it? I heard that some blueprints, when used on a workbench, are essentially binding the workbench to the blueprint, allowing you to make a lot more of this thing later. You're definitely losing out."
The person who was reminded was conflicted: "But having the blueprint is useless without a crafting table. Selling the blueprint would be a loss, and if I don't sell it, I'll still be stuck without a crafting table, which will take up a backpack slot..."
In the discussion forum, some experienced players have explained that while the probability of finding basic resources in the game is quite high, the probability of finding rare resources is as low as 0.0001%.
For example, the workbench is one such tool, a magical item that allows you to make tools, weapons, and equipment once you have the blueprints. It is said that only one in 10,000 people might be able to find a single blueprint.
If you can't find the blueprints, you can only try to find them at other zombie hunter camps or bases, but you have to be able to find them.
"If you're short of food, just sell it. There's really no need to keep the blueprints since there's no workbench."
"I can scavenge for crafting stations at other camps. Maybe I'll find one later. Anyway, I'm not selling it. Selling it cheap would be too much of a loss."
A burly man with many tears in his clothes walked by and overheard the conversation. His face twitched: "What are you thinking? It's probably not so easy to get to other places now."
Hearing the big man's words, someone who clearly knew the situation chimed in, "You guys didn't go very far today, did you? Tsk, I was at a hunter's camp nearby, thinking of taking advantage of the last bit of the perks to loot as many supplies as possible. I went a bit too far and tried to go back, but I was blocked by a red light barrier."
"I still have wood, stones and other materials in my camp, so I wandered around to see if I could get around it, but what happened? I couldn't get back. The only entrance was blocked by the boss monster."
"You all saw the red light screen too?! When I, Wood, tested it, half of Wood disappeared..."
"Yes, yes, that was terrifying. Luckily, we didn't just rush in."
I was passing by and overheard this, so I stayed and listened for a bit. I realized that this red light screen was so scary. Isn't it just like a kind of isolation barrier?
On their way back, they saw a curtain of light descending from the sky, but because they were in a hurry, they didn't go to investigate. Now, they understand what it is from listening to people chatting.
Tian Tian Xiang Xia: "Luckily we didn't go too far, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get back to the White Moon Base, and the materials we had guarded would have gone to someone else."
"Moreover, it's so late, and we might not be able to find a new camp or base to rest in another area."
Some people are not strong enough and are timid, so they dare not go too far from the base. Therefore, they did not see the appearance of the red light screen, and they became a little worried after hearing what others said.
"I'm worried. The area we can plunder has shrunk. What are we going to do now?"
"The only way is to fight the boss and clear the level. Otherwise, what resources can you find in this area in the long run?"
"I saw some people teaming up. If all else fails, we can just wait until they've finished cleaning up. At worst, we'll just go hungry for a few days..."
"Don't you know there's a space station?"
Pipi Shrimp, who is not blind, and his mother accidentally arrive at the White Moon Base during their escape.
They discovered that this place had buildings that the hunter's camp didn't have, and the walls were stone walls, making it much safer than the hunter's camp. They have decided to stay here permanently.
Pipi Shrimp and his mother discussed and organized their supplies, planning to exchange them for some iron pots or cooking pots at the mission hall, as neither of them were good at fighting.
They decided to do some "small business" to earn accommodation fees, and then slowly collect materials to build a wooden house, so they could have a home in this strange world.
Maybe if we have more coins in the future, we can even post a task to find someone to help us find her dad.
"Space station? What's that?"
"Is it a portal? The kind you see in games..."
It was surprising that Pipi Shrimp wasn't blind; it was astonishing that the others didn't know. But then she realized that she herself had only found out by chance when she saw others using the space station.
"Yes, the space station. A new feature map has been added to the personal panel, which allows you to go to Space Station 1."
Upon hearing this, the people around immediately checked their personal panels and indeed found Space Station 1. Clicking on Space Station 1 immediately prompted them whether to go to Space Station 1.
"Two coins per use, not very expensive."
"Thank goodness, this will save time on the road. Otherwise, with the map shrinking, the competition will be much fiercer."
A white-haired youth crossed his arms and asked in surprise, "Strange, doesn't this space station require space fragments to teleport once?"
Pipi Shrimp shrugged and said, "I don't know. Anyway, this space station only requires two coins to teleport to the White Moon Base. We were surrounded by zombies, and we found it by accident."
In the spring, Ya was also puzzled. In the original game, each teleportation did require consuming a space fragment, but in the game, the probability of finding space fragments was very high.
Since the game became a reality, she has yet to collect a single space fragment.
It seems that some details are a little different now; she can't rely entirely on the little experience she has.
After listening for a while and gathering some information, the five of them finally entered the mission hall.
Upon entering, the first thing that catches everyone's eye is the pale blue screen suspended high in the air.
At the top center of the screen is a line of text—Acquirer—and below it are the acquisition projects.
The largest screen is of course the one belonging to the White Moon Base, followed by the screens of other players. However, the other players have very few screens, which can be counted at a glance, and some screens clearly appear to be acquired by a team.
In the spring, Ya saw that the largest screen was surrounded by people and said, "We need the basic materials to build a wooden house. Let's go check out the other people's acquisition projects first."
Sunflower nodded: "We'll submit the materials for the cabin and see if we have a bed or sleeping bag while we're at it."
In the spring, Ya looked around and suddenly saw a familiar name—"lying flat salted fish" (a derogatory term for someone who is lazy and unambitious). Her gaze moved down to the workbench, and she walked over.
